Studies have shown that an immersion setting would be the ideal way to learn a language. Yet when it comes to the Middle East, things tend to be different.
One important point you need to keep is the fact that most Arab countries are going through the Arab spring, and so it is difficult to travel or live there.
Another point to think about is the type of dialect you want to learn, most Americans prefer to learn Egyptian Arabic as it is most well-known. Yet, according the Arab linguists, the Levantine dialect (dialect of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Jordan) is the closest to the mainline Arabic, also known as “fuS-Ha”.
The fact is, Living Language has managed to create a great mixture between “fuS-Ha” and modern Arabic that would be essential for a student in learning Arabic in the comfort of his own home. Wherever he is!
